It's the same story as the original Anime and Manga. Ataru constantly hits on girls even though Shinobu is his girlfriend. They frequently beat him up. Ataru is randomly selected by a computer to save the world. He must play a game of tag with Princess Lum and grab her by the horns. If he fails the alien Onis will take over the world. Shinobu says she will marry Ataru if he wins. He catches her and says "I'm gonna marry her." Lum thinks Ataru is talking about her and thinks she is married to him. When he tries to hit on other girls Lum uses her powers to electrocute him. They always go on crazy adventures together. The Art in the reboot is gorgeous. It's a mix of the original 80's style and a more modern art style. They try to introduce all the characters from the manga as fast as possible. The original 80's anime took longer to introduce the characters. Unfortunately the violence is slightly toned down. They sometimes use freeze frames but it's still funny.

This show has some really silly humour for sure. That's probably because it's a remake of an 80s show so that humour probably hasn't aged well. There are also a few episodes that just went too far or didn't make sense to me. But I did find plenty of episodes enjoyable. It's not exactly a laugh-out-loud comedy, but it's enjoyable enough. You'll find some of the characters irritating, but others funny. I was hoping for some subtle character development, especially for the romance, so hopefully we get that in the second season.

The soundtrack is pretty funny. The animation is good too.

In the end this show very much depends on the person themselves, whether they'll like it or not. I thought it fine and fun enough and I'll look forward to the second season.

The first thing I have to say is that I Love this show. The story is great! Funny and with depth. In my opinion the best romantic comedy I have ever seen. What's more it's faithful to original - probably that makes this series so good. I also know the author from InuYasha, but yeah Urusei Yatsura is far better for me. Upgraded art style in comparison to old series. Perfect soundtrack, openings, endings they were just in point and I like them all. What's more music lyrics from opening and endings are strongly connected to plot. Main characters Lum and Ataru will remain in my hearth to the end and their fellows as well. I just have a feeling that every character was important and cool, like for example bunny guy (Inaba) and Shinobu. I also have to say that I didn't watch the old series or manga (I'm '98 from Poland) but I looked up to it because I have come to love this anime <3. I can recommend it to anyone who like romance with funny but deep storyline.

A funny and good comedy show, its really well done and its foe every age, its just dumb stuff happening in the screen for 20 minutes ti forget about your sad life for a moment, funny and weird characters in funny and weird situations and you have a success, it's nothing complicated, it's nothing interesting its just dumb fun ok, overall its well animated, well made and well pace, it's just enough to entertain for 20 minutes ok, it's overall a fantastic show to watch with your friends or folks, sone episodes are better than others and sometimes you can skip episodes, nothing wrong with skipping one or two boring episodes guys, its nit school or job, skipping parts in JoJo its ok too (i skipped part 3 so boring)
